A north Huntsville neighborhood with potential
The Lakewood neighborhood of Huntsville is not new, but it is on the rise. Investors and first-time homebuyers can find properties well under the Huntsville Metro Area average, and the neighborhood is close to major highways and downtown Huntsville. For the right person, says managing broker Stella Torres of Momentum Realty, LLC, the community can check a lot of boxes. “It can feel good and ideal and quaint,” Torres says.
Ranch-style houses with a dome-home feel
The neighborhood’s homes are primarily ranch-style with brick siding and wood floors. Most of the houses were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and some have been recently renovated. Smaller oak trees dot the neighborhood’s front lawns. Sidewalks are available on bigger streets. Well-kept homes typically range from $120,000 to $280,000. Investment properties are also available, usually from $80,000 to $160,000. The neighborhood has a CAP Index Crime Score of 6 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4. The community’s overall score is influenced by high scores in violent crime.

The North Huntsville Public Library offers laptop and 3D printer use on top of its books and magazines. A playground and pickleball courts sit on the library's campus, which hosts events like Sister 2 Sister and Brother 2 Brother book club meetings.
Betty Mae's is a lunchtime hot spot

The Orbit Bus runs through the neighborhood
